Death Penalty in India DEATH PENALTY IN INDIA 2018 1 PUBLISHED BY Project 39A National Law University, Delhi Press Sector 14, Dwarka New Delhi 110078 Published in January 2019 @National Law University, Delhi 2019 All rights reserved WRITING Neetika Vishwanath RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS Neetika Vishwanath Pritam Raman Giriya Varsha Sharma RESEARCH ASSISTANCE Ananaya Agarwal E.

Founders Grotesk and Pitch by Klim Type Foundry, Printed and bound in India, 2019 2018 FOREWORD This is the third edition of The Death Penalty in India: Annual Statistics published by Project 39A at National Law University, Delhi and is a continuation of our efforts to compile comprehensive data on the use of the death penalty in India. Since the first edition in 2017, we have constantly broadened our search strategies and improved upon our data collection systems to accurately track death sentence cases across the country. Despite these efforts, we face significant difficulties because of the poor data collection and maintenance by state institutions. The 162 death sentences imposed by trial courts in 2018 is the highest in a calendar year since 2000. We filed 91 applications under the Right to Information Act, 2005 (RTIs) covering all prison and home departments, and office of the Governors across states to collect information on prisoners sentenced to death. We also regularly mined the High Court and Supreme Court websites to track movement in death sentence cases. Since most Sessions Courts either do not have websites or do not regularly update them, local newspaper reports proved to be the most reliable source of information for tracking death sentences by trial courts in 2018. We had several concerns with the responses we received from official sources. While numerous responses were incomplete or provided incorrect details, 7 states and 2 union territories did not respond to RTI applications. Most applications resulted in several transfers within the department before we could receive a final response and this process caused significant delays in data collection. Further, many High Court websites were not regularly updated and this made tracking the status of appeals/confirmations more difficult. These concerns required us to monitor our database regularly and collate information from a diverse range of sources to present the figures in this report. In our efforts to continuously update our data, we have identified certain corrections to the data presented in the 2016 and 2017 editions. These corrections can be found at the end of this report. The lack of coordination between different official sources affects the accuracy of even simple data like this and speaks to larger concerns with data recording and reporting within the criminal justice system. Notwithstanding these limitations, we are confident that this report presents a fairly comprehensive data set on the use of the death penalty in 2018. Exceptional contributions by Varsha Sharma and Pritam Raman Giriya (III-year law students at National Law University, Delhi) have made this report possible. They have been the backbone of this endeavour since 2017 and were instrumental in filing RTIs, mining court websites, tracking news reports, and the overall maintenance of our database. We would also like to acknowledge the research assistance provided by E. Sarashika and Ananaya Agarwal (I-year law students at National Law University, Delhi). OVERVIEW OF LEGAL DEVELOPMENTS IN 2018 162 persons were sentenced to death by trial courts in 2018 and 426 prisoners were under the sentence of death as on 31st December 2018. While 2018 saw the highest number of death sentences imposed by trial courts in nearly two decades, the Supreme Court moved in the opposite direction. In 2018, the Supreme Court confirmed 3 death sentences under its review jurisdiction in the December 2012 Delhi gangrape case. After taking over as the Chief Justice of India in October 2018, Justice Ranjan Gogoi made hearing of death sentence cases a priority and constituted four 3-judge benches towards that end. (see Page 23 for further details on death sentence cases in the Supreme Court) 2018 also saw the legislative expansion of the death penalty for non-homicide offences. The Parliament amended the Indian Penal Code (IPC) through the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 2018 (CLA)1 in August, 2018 to provide for the death sentence as a possible punishment for rape and gang-rape of girls below the age of 12 years. In January 2019, the Union Cabinet approved and introduced in the Lok Sabha amendments to the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (POCSO) which brought in the death sentence as a possible punishment for penetrative aggravated sexual assault with children below the age of 18 years. In August 2018, the Cabinet also approved a bill providing death penalty or life imprisonment for crimes involving maritime piracy or piracy at sea. In contrast to the legislative expansion of the death penalty, the Supreme Court indicated its growing concern with the judicial administration of the death penalty by commuting 11 death sentences between November - December 2018. These concerns found their sharpest articulation in Justice Kurian Joseph’s dissenting opinion in Chhannu Lal Verma v. State of Chhattisgarh2 where he observed that the time had come to reconsider the need for the death penalty as a punishment, especially its purpose and practice. 1. Available at https://mha.gov.in/sites/default/files/2CSdivTheCriminalLawAct_14082018_0.pdf 2. Criminal Appeal Nos. 1482-1483 of 2018. 2 2018 saw the highest number of death sentences imposed by trial courts in nearly two decades. The Supreme Court moved in the opposite direction. Out of the 12 death penalty cases heard in the Supreme Court in 2018, death sentences were commuted in 11 cases to life imprisonment of different kinds. In Chhannu Lal Verma v. State of Chhattisgarh, Justice Kurian Joseph called for the reconsideration of the constitutionality of the death penalty. Legislative expansion of the death penalty through Criminal Law Amendment Act, 2018 by introduction of the death sentence as a possible punishment for rape of girls below 12 years. This was followed by amendment of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 in January 2019 which brings in the death sentence for aggravated penetrative sexual assault with children below the age of 18 years. 3 MOST NUMBER OF DEATH SENTENCES SINCE 2000 162 death sentences were imposed by trial courts across India this year and made it the highest in the last 19 years3. With 22 death sentences, Madhya Pradesh used the death penalty the most in 2018. This was a dramatic increase (over 4 times) compared to 2017 when 6 persons were sentenced to death in Madhya Pradesh. The government in Madhya Pradesh had consistently pushed for punishing child sexual assault with the death penalty and the 2018 IPC amendments to the IPC introducing the death penalty for the rape of girls below 12 years has been used most in Madhya Pradesh. DEATH PENALTY BENCHES IN THE SUPREME COURT 2018 saw 11 death sentences being commuted to life imprisonment4 by the Supreme Court while 3 death sentences (in one case) were confirmed in a review petition hearing. Of the 11 commutations, 7 were in criminal appeals while 4 were in review proceedings. 3 death sentences were confirmed in 1 review petition in July 2018 in the December 16 Delhi gang-rape case. (see Pages 24 and 25 for more details) After assuming office in October 2018, Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi constituted four 3-judge benches sitting simultaneously for over 6 weeks to decide death sentence cases. The investment of such judicial resources in deciding death sentence cases was missing during the tenures of Chief Justices Dipak Misra (August 2017 to October 2018) and Jagdish Singh Khehar (January 2017 to August 2017). There were no death sentence criminal appeals and 1 review petition decided during the tenure of Chief Justice Dipak Misra. During Chief Justice Khehar’s tenure 1 criminal appeal and 2 review petitions5 were decided. Prior to that, 9 criminal appeals6 and 1 review petition were decided during the tenure of Chief Justice TS Thakur between December, 2015 to January, 2017. 5 death sentence review petitions were decided by the Supreme Court in 2018 (see Page 25 for details). 2 of these, Rajendra Prahladrao Wasnik v. State of Maharashtra7 and M. A. Antony v. State of Kerala8 were reopened in the light of the decision in Mohd. Arif v. The Registrar, Supreme Court. Except for the review petitions filed by those sentenced to death in the December 16 Delhi gangrape case, all review petitions resulted in commutation to life imprisonment. 3. Project 39A does not have data on annual death sentences prior to 2000. 4. The sentences in different cases ranged from simple life imprisonment to fixed terms of imprisonment and imprisonment till the end of natural life as per the Supreme Court judgment of 2015 in V. Sriharan v. Union of India [(2016) 7 SCC 1] which allows for placing a sentence beyond the pale of executive remission. This however does not have any effect on the powers of the President and the Governor under Article 72 and 161 of the Constitution respectively. 5. This corresponded to four death sentences all of which were confirmed at the Criminal Appeal stage. 6. 6 of these 9 cases involving 7 accused persons resulted in commutation of death sentences to life imprisonment. 3 accused persons in the remaining 3 cases were acquitted at the Criminal Appeal stage. 7. Review Petition (Criminal) No. 306-307 of 2013 in Criminal Appeal No. 145-146 of 2011. 8. Review Petition (Criminal) No. 245 of 2010 in Criminal Appeal No.
